Giga: Nice vision and nicely taken. And the thumbnail is looking sharp but the original image require some sharping.

I know its directly from camera .I meant, I didn't like the picture that much .Are you using CHDK fimrware with A570 ??
it does well for fast shutter speed (+use of flash ) for high speed photography .I mean sure ,you know that already :)

.Try a similar shot with a egg or something similar :D

ice shot toofan .good compo

i didnt use CHDK for this shot....
its a normal shot at 1/500 sec shutter speed....
even CHDK cant help here....as i can capture at 1/20000 sec with CHDK....
but the main thing is timing....you need to be very quick to press shutter at right time..as using CHDK camera dont click itself.....as motion detection script cant help here.....

@Vimal:
@Anorion:
setup is simple...as i hold camera in one hand & needle in other hand then tried some shots to get perfect...,
Shutter speed : 1/500 sec,
Aperture : F/8,
Flash:ON,
Mode : Manual with manual focus lock,

i have taken 15-16 shots to get perfect...as all those shots from closer distance so many times i was neared to damage camera..due to water......boring thing is only that u need to water filled balloon every time....

@chitvan: what setup did you use to trigger? also details on lighting if any.

no extra lighting....used only camera flash...
just click some shots to get perfect...
sometimes you may be late OR may be early to click...
like below shots....

this is why continuous mode comes handy (I know point and shoot is a bit slow with flash on ).Well ,shots like these can't be taken with one click .

@Chitvan: so basically, you pointed the cam at a bursting balloon and got the pic? That's almost unbelievable... doing it solo as well... really awesome. Anything you read-up on the technique online use timing devices, as well as a sonic/visual/other trigger to shoot at the right time.

ya burst mode can be very helpful for this situation....even in latest DLSRs it is 8 FPS...its very good rate for high speed photography....
my cam has 1 pic /1.5 sec.... :(

Cool: Superb Shot. Excellent composition. And the b/w conversion worked here extremely well here. If you would have removed the stone or hide that any way it would have been spot less.

The Camera which started it all!

*farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4402999571_1f0fcc32ef_o.jpg

This is the camera with which i began my photography voyage :)

@toofan - Yeah. While shooting I was so engrossed that I forgot about the stone. Actually the bike was not mine & so I was in a hurry to shoot before the owner comes & takes it away.

^yeah, happens to me in such shots as well, the subject is aligned right, and so is the ground, but the skyline is slightly tilted when you view the photo out of the viewfinder.
